Noun
S: (n) thymine, T (a base found in DNA (but not in RNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine)
S: (n) deoxythymidine monophosphate, T (one of the four nucleotides used in building DNA; all four nucleotides have a common phosphate group and a sugar (ribose))
S: (n) nucleotide, base (a phosphoric ester of a nucleoside; the basic structural unit of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA))
S: (n) base pair (one of the pairs of chemical bases joined by hydrogen bonds that connect the complementary strands of a DNA molecule or of an RNA molecule that has two strands; the base pairs are adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine in DNA and adenine with uracil and guanine with cytosine in RNA)

S: (n) oligonucleotide, oligo ((biochemistry) a polynucleotide whose molecules contain relatively few nucleotides)
S: (n) uracil, U (a base containing nitrogen that is found in RNA (but not in DNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine)
S: (n) T, t (the 20th letter of the Roman alphabet)
S: (n) triiodothyronine, liothyronine, T (thyroid hormone similar to thyroxine but with one less iodine atom per molecule and produced in smaller quantity; exerts the same biological effects as thyroxine but is more potent and briefer)
S: (n) thyroxine, thyroxin, tetraiodothyronine, T (hormone produced by the thyroid glands to regulate metabolism by controlling the rate of oxidation in cells) "thyroxine is 65% iodine"
